Be My Bride

fingers laced over eyes
anticipation for surprise
heart rate rises, stomach falls
walking blind through the halls
holding hands to be a guide
until the blindfold was untied
there he knelt on the floor
knowing what he’ll ask for
tears rolled down my face
as I jump in his embrace
held me tight and to my ear
his sweet words I couldn’t hear
kissed me till the tears had cried
and asked me to be his bride
